Extending business functionality

Infor Process Automation

Customers can use Infor Process Automation (IPA) to extend business functionality by automating business processes. IPA is delivered with this CloudSuite core and is available to all customers.

Some examples of how IPA can extend business functionality:

• Save time for your users by automating procedures.

• Ensure that a complex procedure is performed correctly at your site.

  You can create a process that includes steps (form access, email notifications, other activities) in the order that you want them to be performed. Steps that are dependent on a previous step cannot be performed until the prerequisite step has been completed.

• Add steps to an infor Lawson procedure that fall outside of Infor Lawson applications.

  For example, to get or verify data from the Web or another source, you can create a process that performs these steps.
